Hint: The argand diagram is used for graphical representation of complex numbers in the form of in the complex plane. Similar to and in the two dimensional geometry we have a horizontal axis used to indicate real numbers and a vertical axis used to represent imaginary numbers in case of an argand plane. For example: represents the ordered pair geographically in the argand plane.
Complete step-by-step solution:
The given complex number is;
According to the given question, let us draw the diagram to understand the question in a better way;
Figure : Isosceles right angled triangle
We know that if two lines are perpendicular to each other then the product of their slopes will be equal to ; i.e.
First, let us calculate the slope of line OP;
Now, let us calculate slope of line OQ;
Put the respective values in the property , we get;
Simplifying the above equation;
Using the properties of isosceles triangles (stated in the note part) let us try to solve our question;
According to figure ,
will also be true.
By the distance formula between two points, we know that;
( where and are the coordinates of first
point and second point respectively )
Now, let us similarly find the equation for OQ;
Now, put the value of from equation in the above equation we get;
The above equation can be further simplified as;
On comparing equation and equation , we get;
Which means ;
Now put the value of to get the value of ; we get two cases;
When
And
Therefore, there can be two possible values of , i.e.
Therefore, the answer for this question is .
Note: Here are the important properties of a right angled isosceles triangle. It will be easier to understand via a diagram, the isosceles triangle theorem states that;

In the above diagram , means two sides of the triangle are congruent, then the third side will be equal to means the hypotenuse is times the length of a leg.
If then .
